Dirección Nacional del Servicio Civil Opportunities

Applicants browse the available placements on the Prácticas Chile portal and apply to individual public-service opportunities that match their studies and profile. The official government service page states that applications can be made throughout the year. Placements generally last 8 to 12 weeks, although duration may be adjusted to academic requirements when the host service permits it. The standard workweek stated on the official page is 44 hours.

Applicants must be students from a technical secondary school, Technical Training Center (CFT), Professional Institute (IP) or university; generally need to be completing their final professional or technical practice, although some postings may accept intermediate practices or internships; must meet the profile requested by the host institution; and should have a current regular-student certificate and curriculum vitae. Individual postings may add specific requirements.
